- Top Performer
- Mark Nwakamma (Hart): 22 points (9-15 FG; 1-2 3FG; 3-5 FT), 12 rebounds, 3 assists, 2 blocks, 2 steals
- Big Stat
- This isn't necessarily a stat that made the difference in the win, but its significant nonetheless. Hartford, with its victory Saturday, swept Boston U. in conference play for the first time since 1998-'99. The Hawks have definitely emerged as a legit threat this season with a prime-time player (PTPer as Dickie V. would say) in Nwakwamma.
- Supporting Cast
- Wes Cole chipped in 10 off the bench, including a pair of big triples, for Hartford. For the Terriers, D.J. Irving had 14 points and eights boards in the loss.

at UMBC 68, Maine 67: Box/Recap/Highlights
- Top Performer
- Chase Plummer (UMBC): 17 points (6-10 FG; 1-1 3FG; 4-11 FT), 7 rebounds, 5 assists, 2 steals
- Big Stat
- UMBC had to go small in this one, with three big men out. As a result, they did not dress a player taller than 6'6". That meant that guards really had to step up and step up they did. Despite the lack of size, UMBC was only outrebounded 37-34 thanks to eight rebounds from Ryan Cook and seven from swingman Plummer.
- Supporting Cast
- Brian Neller played the role of hero in this one for UMBC, rising up and nailing the game-winning triple with 0.5 seconds remaining. The senior sharpshooter finished with 12 points on the night. Joey Getz also had a career-high 16 for the Retrievers. For Maine, Zarko Valjarevic (featured on the blog last week) led all scorers with 20 points while hoisting up 17 three-point attempts.

- Top Performer
- Dave Coley (SBU): 13 points (4-9 FG; 1-1 3FG; 4-4 FT), 8 rebounds
